Ah I found the kubectl file… can get it there probably.

KUBECONFIG=/home/USERNAMEHERE/.airbyte/abctl/abctl.kubeconfig ./kubectl -n airbyte-abctl exec airbyte-db-0 -- pg_dump -U docker db-airbyte > airbyte_backup_test.sql

The database data directory is available on the host under ~/.airbyte/abctl/data/airbyte-volume-db/ as well, but ya, pg_dump is probably easier to work with

That’s good to know too! thanks
